If we're in Malik Jackson territory come draft time next year...shoot me. I really don't want to be talking about top 10-15 prospects come January.

Should probably add safety to the list of potential nneds. No guarantees on Heath, Frazier and Woods, despite how well I believe they will do.

I don't know. I can see Malik falling to the 20's. He doesn't for 3/4 teams. I don't see him as a MLB in the 4/3. So you are limited to just teams that need OLB help. Further, LB isn't nearly the premium that other defensive positions are.

Obviously there is a lot of football between then and now. But the sheer number of QBs I think will go top 10, plus a few OL, plus a few DE's. I can completely see a situation where Malik falls._________________

Ok Malik Jefferson may not even be a Top 15 prospect next year. The guy has some growing to do and there are also some real up and comers that could push him to the late or even 2nd for all we know. Same with Conner Williams who I think will be a 2nd day pick someplace.

My top 5 needs already going into next year goes as follows.

1. RT- Dak is our franchise QB. Romo stood up to the punishment of a bad line for years. Who's to say Dak could do the same? DO we want that for him? Invest in his survival.
2. S- We didn't do jack to beef up the safety position. If thats what we drafted Chidobe for then he was basically a wasted pick and we should have gotten Josh Jones. CB was far more of a need. Frazier may surprise as well as Woods. But as of now. Its a huge need.
3. TE- I don't care how confident the staff are in Rico gathers. Unless he proves it on the field, their hopes and dreams are meaningless. This should have been addressed in the draft. And even if Rico is the 2nd coming. What would have been wrong running a two TE set like NE which everyone thinks we are trying to model ourselves after? We need another TE.
4. LB- No telling if Jaylon will return to full form, Lee is a year older. And we need to invest in the future here.
5. WR- We need a guy that has No.1 capabilities with being able to play in the No.2 spot. TWill was returned at a nice price, but is not capable of being a No.1 receiver if Dez goes down._________________

Calvert28 Your top three needs may very well already be covered on the roster.

In terms of WR. I get it. An elite WR is nice. But it is probably the least premier position of need in terms of translating to wins. Don't get me wrong. If you get a stud to line up next to Dez while he is still in his prime - it would be glorious. Right prospect falls to us I am completely down. I just don't really care about going all in there.

No matter what - LBer will be a need next year (given this teams desire to plan a year or two ahead). We might have others - and more pressing ones - but we don't have any real future behind Lee._________________

May? Thats a big word in this league. And it certainly doesn't mean "is"._________________

Well, obviously. We are also talking a year in advance. This time last year most would have put QB still at the top of the list._________________

Fair enough. But until Green or Skipper turns into Erik Williams.

Frazier or Woods turns into Woodson. Or Rico turns into our new Witten.

Or at the very least proved they will hold down the job with constant good play. They are needs._________________
